Biometric enrolment - does it have to be within 15 days?

Post by mannen23 » Thu Oct 06, 2016 11:25 am

my durable partner received a letter today about providing her biometrics for a pending UK RC through a EEA FP. Letter says it has to be done within 15 working days. What is a valid reason not to do it within that time frame? My partner is travelling now (on her other passport) and will not be back in the UK in time.

15 days from when the date letter is sent out to. Why can't he just go the nearest Post Office and do it straightaway so the whole process is not delayed.
It is really good to help and everyone deserve to be respected in life. Good luck.

Just ask him to write to them quickly with his reference number on their letter sent to him and state the reason why and let them know when he will be back in UK to send it to them. He should be okay and is better not to get back to them.


Good luck

If the first biometric appointment isn't attended a second letter is generally sent.

Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.
